Restore Your Gumline, Renew Your Confidence
Receding gums don’t grow back on their own. Gum grafting covers exposed tooth roots with healthy tissue, so sipping something cold or brushing at night can feel comfortable again.
Gum Grafting
Reclaim Your Gumline with Gum Grafting
Gum recession is easy to overlook, but exposed roots can cause sensitivity and are more prone to decay. Gum grafting covers them with healthy tissue, and our periodontist uses a minimally invasive tunneling technique called VISTA to do it through one small incision. From planning to healing, everything happens right here.
Our Process
Clear, predictable steps from exam to healing.
Step 01
Examination & Planning
We measure your recession, assess your gums, and determine whether gum grafting is right for you.
Step 02
Comfortable Preparation
Our periodontist numbs the area thoroughly, then gently cleans the exposed tooth roots to prepare them for treatment.
Step 03
Creating a Small Tunnel
Through one small incision, we create a tunnel beneath the gum tissue, avoiding long incisions along the gumline.
Step 04
Graft Placement
We place the graft material, gently reposition your gum tissue over the exposed roots, and secure it with small stitches.
Step 05
Healing & Aftercare
We guide you through aftercare and schedule follow-up visits to monitor healing as your gums settle into place.

I had a dental emergency on a Monday morning, a cracked tooth and a lot of pain. The office got me in same-day and took care of everything. I can't say enough about how much I appreciate the emergency availability.
